1. Item Title: Automated Heated Immersion Paint Removal System for Military Aircraft Components

2. Quantity: 1 (One) System

3. Unit of Measure: Each

4. Description:

General Description: The Government requires an automated, heated chemical paint removal system for the safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible removal of paint and associated coatings from aircraft components. This system will replace a manual process that uses Methylene Chloride and significantly reduce labor requirements.

Application & Process: The system is intended for use in a production environment focused on paint removal as part of a larger maintenance workflow including pre-clean, Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI), and post-treatment processes.

Technical Specifications:

• Chemical Compatibility & Limitations: The system must be designed for use with chemicals conforming to and listed on the Qualified Products List (QPL) for MIL- PRF-83936C. The system must accommodate the following parameters:

• Material Compatibility: The system must be compatible with components constructed of Aluminum (primarily), Magnesium, Steel, Titanium, and Stainless Steel.

• Contaminants: The system must effectively remove aircraft paint and Chromium epoxy primer.

• Working Area: The system must have a working area with internal dimensions large enough to fully accommodate a component with dimensions up to Width ≥32" to accommodate two (2) wheel halves simultaneously; Length ≥ 16"; Depth ≥ 16" and a maximum weight of 150lbs.

• Automation Level: 100% automated operation is required, eliminating manual brushing, scraping, and wiping.

• System Features:

o Pre Wash Tank, UltraSonic Immersion Wash Tank, and Rinse Tank o Thermostat Temperature Controller reaching a minimum of 185°F o Lift to lower and remove parts from the tank o Lid covering the tanks o The system must be capable of effectively processing parts with weep holes and hollow sections. Fixturing is permissible, but tumbling is not allowed.

• Throughput: The system must be capable of processing 10-20 parts per week, operating on 1 shift, 5 days a week.

• Available Power: 480V, 3-phase, 125 Amp.

• Footprint: Size of the room is 10’ (Height) x 20’ (Width) x 10’ (Depth).

• Ventilation & Safety: The room where this will be installed already has a ventilation system installed.

Deliverables:

• One (1) complete Automated Heated Chemical Paint Removal System, meeting all specified requirements.

• Complete operating and maintenance manuals.

• Documentation confirming compatibility with MIL-PRF-83936C QPL chemicals.

• Detailed system schematics and wiring diagrams.

Acceptance Criteria:

• System shall operate as specified in the technical specifications.

• The working area shall be verified to meet the minimum dimensional requirements.

• Successful demonstration of safe and effective paint removal from a representative sample of aircraft components (provided by the Government).

• Acceptance of provided documentation (manuals, schematics).

• Verification of full automation functionality.

5. Special Requirements:

• Installation & Training: The vendor shall provide professional installation of the system at 5250 W Depot Rd, Springfield MO 65803. The vendor shall also provide comprehensive training to Government personnel on the safe and effective operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the system. Training shall include a minimum of 1 day of on-site training, covering chemical handling, system operation, preventative maintenance, and troubleshooting.

• MIL-PRF-83936C Compliance: All chemicals used with this system must be on the current Qualified Products List (QPL) for MIL-PRF-83936C.

• Must be a manufacture or authorized distributor of the offered system.
